Hey I have a 99 accord EX and I cant get the stick **** off, I can pull down the little bag that connects to the **** but I cant get the **** off. Ive tried pulling up, if tried twisting, how do you do it ? and does anyone have the specs for it so I know which size to buy to upgrade? thanks

 

it should just come off like a nut off a bolt, just try to twist it to the left, it may take quite a few turns but it should just unscrew

 

mine was a real bitch to get off, needs hella force.

 

not familiar with 99's but grab the top of the boot, and the ****... keep the boot from twisting too badly, and turn the **** counter clockwise... might be kinda tight

 

use some big pliars or something and unscrew it, it turns it's tight as hell tho

 

Here are the instructions:

They (handa-accessories.com) sell the leather Honda shift ***** for $43 or so.

I think it's the unscrewing part that you're having trouble with. Just give it a lot of force, it'll twist off to the left (lefty-loosey, righty-tighty). I have a '99 LX 5-speed, I took my shift **** off in late '98 when I was putting in a trunk mounted CD changer. Mine came off relatively easily as I remember (it's been almost six years).

As a side note, today, October 13, is the 6th anniversary of the day I bought my Accord. In '98, Oct. 13 was on a Monday, Columbus day.

 

i have a 2004 accord and I can't get mine off either. it just keeps on twisting and the boot twists with it so i can't twist too far. how do i take it off?

 

lol....as soon as you pull down the boot, just keep on twistin it off....i got mine off and put a gsr shift **** on it, looks very nice on it.....better grip too

 

Remember to twist it off in a counter-clock wise motion and not clockwise (lefty loosy, righty tighty)

 

i still can't get it off.... i heard something crack.... -_-

 

Almost all Honda's/Acura's have the twist on/off shift **** system. All Accords have this system, twist to the left and pull up at the same time.

 

ok, i decided to try when i get a new shift ****. now i have another question. can someone tell me how the lighted ***** work? where do the wires get plugged into?

IMO dont get a light shift ****, just get a regular one...i think a factory gsr shift **** is pretty good, comfortable and good grip, thats what i have on mine
